Annoyingly, no it doesn't! If the filename is entirely the same
case, Windows both displays it a lower case with initial caps, but
saves it as that as well.
 
On Windows machine: create file, save it as A:\index.htm
Filer displays it as "index.htm"
 
Take floppy disk to non-Windows machine. Examine disk. File is
called "Index.htm"!
 
On Windows machine: create directory called "BBC". Filer displays
it as "Bbc"  Grrr....
